Research interests:   My research has focused on developing physical relationships between geophysical measurements and hydrogeological processes as a means to characterize groundwater resources. While most of my work to date has involved groundwater resources, I have more recently worked on projects related to natural resource characterization, archaeology, and remediation. My current research involves developing an understanding of how electrical geophysical characteristics relate to the hydrology of rock layers in an effort to understand the nature of contaminant movement through porous media.
